Weekly Update: Advice from an expert

Friends,

If you saw my COVID-19 update earlier this week, you know we’re beginning to see another increase in all the data points we monitor each day—new cases, positivity rate, reproductive rate, and hospitalizations.

I can’t say it enough. Simply because some business restrictions have been lifted by the Shelby County Health Department—it doesn’t mean that the virus is no longer a threat. If anything, it’s potentially more dangerous now because we’re moving into flu season.

To help stress the importance of masking, good hygiene and social distancing, I asked one of our local infectious disease specialists, Dr. Manoj Jain, to share his thoughts and guidance on the best methods to fight this virus.

Yours,
